Very convenient and thorough!
As to mentioned above training is never fun…but with that said you made a course that could be unbearably boring and made it interesting and fairly easy to follow and remember. Thank you.
This training is very informative
Just pay attentions, listen and its best to do it in a quiet area where there is no distraction.
Easy and fast’ thank you!

I’ve worked in the food business plenty of time and so I believe that this was a good little test to give for anyone that is interested in working in a kitchen.

Awesome
Easy to understand and follow
Easy to follow common sense no surprises
Very informative and easy to understand information.
I learned a lot about food service
The course is very clear and detailed. The best part of it is that you can stop and go back whenever you have time or are ready to continue.
Not every slide had a CC option. If for some reason a slide needed to be paused, CC started over while the slide continued. And the narrator had a fairly monotone voice, making it a little hard for me to concentrate
The videos give lots of information. I do wish that you could rewind on each video. Especially because if you’re taking notes, sometimes you only wanna go back five seconds and not have to start the video all over again
Este curso es muy completo y aprendi mucho a como debe ser el funcionamiento en una cocina de cualquier restaurante.! Excelente!!! es muy dinamico, entretenido y super educativo…. Gracias!

Very informational.
Confusing
Very straightforward and easy to follow
There is a lot of information you need to know and they cover it really well. You can go back and forth if you need to or pause as needed if you are taking notes.
It is worth taking
Some of the questions in the review were not addressed until the next module and was confusing
The training was great!
Overall, I really enjoyed taking this course.
thanks
Simple
Long and boring, use real people. Good information overall.
It was a good course. Wish the person talked a bit faster or you could change the speed a bit. Since it talked so slow, I spaced out at times but overall, it was a good course. Got to the point of the modules quickly and efficiently.
good information
Much better than the food movies used in qwick app

its a good course, interactive, its not boring and you learn a lot
This was interesting to me because it is such a critical issue.
easy to go through at home
Gonna be honest: I have a 26K note-count based on everything I’ve read and studied in the Food Handler guide, and it’ll still be saved after after all that. It’s very thorough and easy to understand. I don’t think I had a problem doing any of these, really. I’m fairly confident that I’ve got very close to 100%, if not outright.
Yeah, it was mandatory, but it was far from awful. Just took up my day at most.
I found the modules to be quick, informative, and easy to understand.
It was an interesting experience, very informative though hectic
Got me my Food Handlers license when the other one I tried didn’t work and was cheap
I liked that there were interactive activities and some sample questions in between the modules.
Very informative but so many videos to watch. It would be helpful to know how much progress has been done on the page until exam.
I really just didn’t like the “local health inspector” probably because of the robot voice and trying to make it sound like a person with the script. Understand the appeal but not a fan.
Also, too many of the videos were five seconds long and a few of them could certainly be condensed/stitched together
Easy course to follow along with and they explained everything
So well
Always a pleasure, very informative and easy to use website.
It was quick and informative
